Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual 25
STX O Set Start of Print (SOP) Position
This command sets the point to begin printing relative to the top-of-form (the label’s
edge as detected by the Media Sensor). The printer will feed from the top-of-form to the
value specified in this command to begin printing.
This value operates independently of the <STX>f command.
Non-Display Models: The printer Options Control must be set (via the menu) to “Host”
for this command to have effect.
Display-Equipped Models: If SOP Emulation is set to “enabled” (via the menu), this
command sets the point where printing starts, emulating the selected legacy printer’s
distance, as measured between the media sensor and the print head burn line. In
addition, regardless of the SOP Emulation setting, the start of print position can be fine-
tuned via the menu: Menu Mode / Print Control / Custom Adjustments / Row Adjust.
Syntax:
<STX>Onnnn
Where:
nnnn -
Is a four-digit offset value in inches/100 or mm/10.
The “zero” setting is the default value, and settings
below 50 are adjusted back to the default value.
Non-Display: The default setting is 0220 in Imperial
Mode (0559 in Metric Mode).
Display-Equipped: The default setting is “Off” and the
printer assumes the natural SOP position.
Sample
(Non-Display
models):
<STX>O0300
The sample above sets a start of print position of 3.0 inches
(unless in Metric Mode; see <STX>m).
Sample
(Display-Equipped
models):
<STX>O0210
The sample above will begin printing 0.1 inch closer to the leading
edge of the label if the 220 (Allegro) SOP Emulation was selected,
or 1.0 inch farther away from the leading edge if 110 (ProdPlus)
SOP Emulation was selected.
